How are they answered? In words? Do you hear God speaking to you? Or is it a feeling, a "knowledge", that your prayers are heard and "answered"? I'm actually curious.
And I'm not lumping everyone. I've been doing religious research for over ten years - ever since I was 16. I've tried to find something that would work, something I could believe in, something I could follow and make myself better with... and the only thing that has made sense to me thus far is the considerably controversial perspective of Buddhist Atheism proposed by Stephen Batchelor.
The thing is, the answers I get from different people all pretty much sound the same, so even then it's difficult to separate the voices at times when trying to sort it all out.
And lastly: you knew that this was an atheist look into the texts of God, so why are you here? To try and convert? To antagonise, to call names? Or is it some kind of TWS for you?
